    I'm really going to have to start keep track of the plants you post that I really like a lot, like that one, just in case someday I decide to grow something besides Angs.

    "just in case someday I decide to grow something besides Angs."

    Good for you, Floozo. I suggest the 'm' genera; Maxillaria, Mediocalcar, Masdevallia, Mzootrophion, Mpaphinia, etc. No sense surviving on a diet plate when you can have caviar.

    Nice bloom, Tom.

    Thank you all!

    Why do you always ask such a difficult question? :bang:I don't know!

    Picture #1 is L. bicolor; #2 is L. bicolor var. alba; #3 is L. unicolor

    Caviar? eeeeewww....salty fish orchids! I prefer something a little more..... ....... wait for it........ *drum roll* tangy. :clap:

    Besides, while I am verily blessed with a surfeit of Angs, I actually do have representatives of three of the listed genera. I'd be happy to PM you my address if you want to send me those other two. :D

    People don't eat caviar because it's good. They eat it because it's conspicuous, decadent consumption. Just checked my list of favorite charities. Sorry. You're not on it.

    Yes, I heard (saw). Surprisingly enough, I never actually thought I would appear on Dale's charity list. The knowledge that I'm so low on his list that I'm actually not even on it...was truly a low blow. But in the end, I prefer Angs anyway and consider those other genera to be little better than squirrels. :D

    Damn! For a briefly second, I really thought you were crawling out of the Ang Hole.

    Forrest, L. unicolor has lateral lobes of the lip that are acute and erect. L bicolor the later lobes are entire. (I had to look this up). Color isn't a determining factor.

    Forrest was messing with me, Marni. Thanks for giving him and others a straight answer though.
